Just a hint of what's new

I thought I would share a couple of photos of what's new this week at the Playground. Lots of new stuff has arrived finally from CHA and tons more still to come. I uploaded a lot of photos tonight but thought best that I not overwhelm you!
Here's Scooter's Vacation from Imaginisce. Glazed and Embossed. Love this line, the cute puppy, campers and scooters...perfect for so many things! It's so cute!

Stacked card stock stickers and rub ons! Can't wait to create something fun and summery with this line!

This new line from Moxxie is so cute and so versatile. Perfect for Babies, Spring, Easter and the reverse sided is absolutely beautiful for card makers. Petite, gorgeous patterns. Sweet, simple and so unique! LOVE IT!

I mean really, can it get any cuter! Baby birds, aaaawww!

My Mind's Eye: Challenge #8!

Just thought I would play along! Very fun! Kara and Tessa each did layouts also..check out their blogs!

Challenge #8: Pink OR Red
We know, it’s a little cliché with this being the month of love and all. We thought it would be fun for our challenge this month to use pink OR red.

The Challenge: Use this sketch designed by Anam Stubbington and pink OR red (or both). You can change it, use it as-is, flip it, whatever you'd like as long as we can still recognize the sketch.

The rules: Use ANY My Mind’s Eye products (current or past) you’d like as long as your project has at least 80% My Mind’s Eye products.

Sharing a layout with you that will lead to the question of the day and the challenge!

Just a quick one I did of my daughter...lots of stitching, paint, and a new flower technique. Holy Moly! She doesn't look 12!! Yikes!!

Which leads to the challenge and the question!

Okay, I was really in the mood to scrap Saturday night, but reaaaaaaaaaaaaallly didn't want to clean off my desk from the previous two layouts I had done. ( The one above and the one posted previously with Bella Blvd. product and sweet Tabby in her frog pool! ) I can't scrap without a fresh start and really didn't feel like cleaning it up. So...I challenged myself to use what was left on my desk from the previous projects.

This is what I came up with...and I have to say I llloooovvveee it! I put it together in less than 30 minutes...a new record for me!! Plus, I used more than one photo...totally not my style!

Glimmer mist and paint were on my desk, Tim tickets, corrugated cardboard, bits of bella and lots of scraps of cardstock along with red thread in my machine. This is the finished product...

Who would think Bella Blvd., pink and red cardstock and Best Creations Love Swirls would work for a Bon Jovi layout! I free hand cut the circles and hearts so they wouldn't be so perfect for this perfect man!

Your challenge is the same...create a layout or cards from what's laying out on your scrap space. Send me a photo or upload to Flicker and you could win a prize!

Today's question: What's your favorite love song??

Mine: The Dance by Garth, and all of JBJ's songs!!!! And Love Me Tender!! Elvis!!

Leave a comment to this post and you can win!!

Love to have you participate in the challenge..how about a cut off of February 2oth for that!!!
